The effects are subtle, but definitely there - I would expect the decoding artefacts to be obvious even when using bulk standard quality headphones. The AAC playback is OK, and it is only in comparison with other decoders that I noticed...

I'm using an Ibook G4 Titanium - the output is a little noisy, and not the best around, but still good enough to highlight differences in playback sound quality compared to the Ipod. The MP3 artefacts are only apparent on quiet but...

Has anyone else noticed that the sound quality from the Ipod is significantly inferior to that directly from Itunes on the Mac, or do I have a suspect specimen? I'm using a new Ipod with a standard CMOY amp and ER4-S's. The sound...

I notice that with mains powered amps the HeadRoom models seem to struggle against the competition. But what about portable units? What is there out there that compares with the TA, supreme etc?
